I'm translating a page in Japanese and references are not available in Japanese[編集]

I'm working for create the Japanese translation about André Fontaine (painter) I did the French page and also the English and Italian. For the references I use link to news papers article, but the article are in French or in English. How I can write my references for did it correctly: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Fontaine_(Qu%C3%A9bec) my page in Japanese is in progress not valided of course I need to complete: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:Chikkuru/sandbox thanks , I realy need some help. --Chikkuru（会話） 2014年3月12日 (水) 18:52 (UTC)

French or English references are not a problem, so you can leave them as they are. But the problem is that the quality of the Japanese text needs some more effort (grammar, intermixture of standard and polite forms of speech, and broken sentences), which quite isn't up to the standards we usually expect in Wikipedia articles. Written Japanese has a certain trickiness which can be more complex than what you experience when you're writing with another European language. My advice is that, we all would benefit more if you focus your effort on polishing the English version. A lot of Japanese WP articles start out from translations from the English versions, and there are plenty of translators who regularly bring articles from English WP, and I believe someone would do that for your topic in due time. --朝彦（会話） 2014年3月13日 (木) 02:36 (UTC)
Regarding the supposed "trickiness" of written Japanese, it's not that Western languages do not have firm explicit standards as to what constitutes polished academic prose. Rather it's that Western cultures may be more tolerant with departures from said standards and concentrate on content rather than on compliance with standards. There's plenty of articles containing contributions in broken English, French, etc. in WPs in Western languages. But the prevailing attitude on those WPs seems to be to correct and improve such contributions rather than eliminate them outright, assuming of course such contributions have some merit contentwise. This said one should of course adapt to the cultures of the various WPs just as one adapts to the customs of various countries. But I thought it worthwhile to point out that, contrary to what was stated, it is pretty clear what constitutes good academic writing in all Western languages I am familiar with and it cannot be written any which way.

I want to upload ファイル:Shibumaku.jpg to the Commons but the licensing has a warning. What do I need to do? WhisperToMe（会話） 2014年1月9日 (木) 21:23 (UTC)

The warning is saying that the image has not been checked if it meets the criteria for the GFDL-CC license migration. It meets the criteria as far as I know so you can upload it to Commons under GFDL/CC-BY-SA dual. --朝彦（会話） 2014年2月12日 (水) 19:47 (UTC)

Translation Request[編集]

こんにちは, I found in English Wikipedia that there wasn't an article for Ōzato Gusuku (大里城) on 沖縄島, so I created one. When I finished and tried to link it to a Japanese equivalent, I was surprised to find that it didn't exist either. Due to my limited Japanese, I translated my English article into a Japanese one with Google Translate, under the article title 島添大里グスク. It has now been proposed for deletion due to the terrible translation. This グスク served as the capital of the kingdom of 南山, so I'm very surprised that it doesn't have an article already, and I don't think my article should just be deleted. Can anyone correct it by looking at my English article? Also, I tried adding a picture of the グスク, but it doesn't show up in the Japanese Wikipedia. Here are the links:

--Sturmgewehr88（会話） 2014年1月13日 (火) 17:29 (UTC)

Copyright concerns. In this case, copyright of the author of the machine translator. And (unlike some other languages), ja.wiki does not allow copyrighted material to appear even in past revisions. Moreover, the article title is not right. So, I guess that RfD will close as delete. User Chiba ryo started an own version as 島添大里城 so the article for the castle will be there in due time, don't worry. Thanks for your concern on this matter though, but no machine translations. Thanks for your understanding. --朝彦（会話） 2014年2月12日 (水) 19:44 (UTC)

幼虫 → 幼生[編集]

User:Ｋｓ：

Hi .. sorry my Japanese is "survival level", so I'll use English here.
Whether this larva and that larva be separated or not depends on how strict our definition is and how detailed our article is. If you really want to keep 幼虫, then I can't oppose too much, since 幼虫 is long enough to be independent (and have some significance in special topics like 养蜂 and 养蚕, I guess). But my point is, they are the same concept "larva" with 幼生, which should be presented together so that the reader could be informed comprehensively.
Also, 在漢語中，也有幼蟲一詞；但參照英語，竊以為 larva 之概念不應當拆開。

You ask "how can I find it"; but the obligation to show it is on the person who wants the article to be there, not me. If I you can add any third-party references added in the article at en: or es:, let me know and I could take a look. If it meets our notability guidelines, we can translate from there into Japanese.

That's no newspaper article. It's a book published by Mainichi Newspapers Co. According to its NDL entry, the book was never sold publicly, but nevertheless can be found in the NDL and six other libraries in Japan, and two used bookstores have it in stock, for about 2000 yen. A library might offer a paid copying service. Go ask if you're interested. On a side note, you should be careful in asking for stuff like someone else's database access. Passing along an obtained article to another person usually violates the database service's terms of use. --朝彦（会話） 2014年3月9日 (日) 15:38 (UTC)

Question: Kanji of Kouhei Asoh, pilot of en:Japan Airlines Flight 2[編集]

I was looking for the kanji of Kouhei Asoh, pilot of en:Japan Airlines Flight 2. This site http://longtailworld.blogspot.com/2013/07/asoh-defense-and-jal-2-water-landing-sfo.html gives a last name of Kanji but the first name is in hiragana, probably because the author doesn't know the kanji.

Translation request[編集]

Hey,

I'm sure that a lot of guys who cannot read Japanese are interested in 日本語の起源. I can't understand Japanese at all (except Kanji of course), but it would be great if any one of you can completely translate this article into English and contribute to the English Wikipedia, so I can translate the English version into Chinese.

This may take a little long time, but your efforts will be greatly appreciated like all our works were. In addition, the current English version of this article already exists, but many contents it should have are missing. I have left a similar message at ノート:日本語の起源, too.

Another question is that 日本語の起源 literally means 'the Origin of Japanese Language', but on Wikidata it was linked to en:Classification of Japonic. 起源 is 'origin', not 'classification', right? And the term 'Japonic' includes 琉球語, apart from 日本語. Hope you can solve this problem.

Thanks in advance and have a good day~

Freedom of Panorama photos on Japanese wiki[編集]

Hello editors! Someone uploaded this photo ファイル:Sakaiminato Mizuki Shigeru Road Zashikiwarashi Statue 1.JPG to the Hungarian Wikipedia. According to Commons, there is no FOP for statues in Japan, and if I understand it right, the licence also cannot by CC-BY-SA as artistic works installed in public places cannot be used for commercial purposes. I am interested to know how the Japanese wiki can keep this photo with a CC-BY-SA licence, is there an exception that applies to this photo? Thank you for your explanation in advance! Teemeah（会話） 2014年4月24日 (木) 08:11 (UTC)

There are two rights on the photo, "right of the object" and "right of the photo".
photographer published his/her work under cc-by-sa licence.
Right of the object is limited with article 46. We can use it for commercial purposes except 46(iv).
(Exploitation of an artistic work, etc. located in open places)[11]
Article 46. It shall be permissible to exploit artistic works permanently located in such open places as mentioned in paragraph (2) of the preceding Article and architectural works by any means not falling within any of the following items:
(i) multiplication of a sculpture and offering it to the public by transfer of ownership of its copies;
(ii) imitative reproduction of an architectural work and offering it to the public by transfer of ownership of its copies;
(iii) reproduction of a work for the purpose of locating it permanently in such open places as mentioned in paragraph (2) of the preceding Article;
(iv) reproduction of an artistic work exclusively for the purpose of selling its copies and sale of such copies.
"such open places as mentioned in paragraph (2) of the preceding Article" is
(2) The provision of the preceding paragraph shall not apply with respect to the permanent location of the original of an artistic work in open places accessible to the public, such as streets and parks, or at places easily seen by the public, such as the outer walls of buildings.
--Ks aka 98（会話） 2014年4月24日 (木) 08:59 (UTC)
So if I understand it right, taking a photo of a sculpture in an easily accessible public place and releasing it under cc-by-sa is permitted unless the photo is explicitly taken with a purpose to replicate the original artwork (so basically to create a copy of the statue physically) and multiply it and sell it? Teemeah（会話） 2014年4月24日 (木) 10:47 (UTC)
Then, why is it not transferable to Commons? O.o Teemeah（会話） 2014年4月24日 (木) 10:48 (UTC)
Releasing any photo under CC-BY-SA is permitted if photographer agree as far as photographer's right concerned. Right of sculputure's auther is another. Discription of CC-BY-SA on the file page means that only photographer's right is licenced under CC-BY-SA(you can see the letters "写真の著作物の著作権状態・ライセンス表示" in cc-by-sa template. It means "Copyright status of photographic work").
If you want to use the photo, you have to consent agreement from both photographer and sculputure's auther. If photographer released under CC-BY-SA, you don't need obtain permission from photographer. But you must obtain sculputure's auther. Right of the sculputure's auther is fully copyrighted but is limited under article 46 in Japan. Then you can use the photo under CC-BY-SA as far as article 46 allowed. But you can't make copy of scatue nor sell it. Photographer don't have the right for permission, auther didn't release the sculpture under CC-BY-SA(you can see red copyright mark).
Japanese copyrights law don't appricate in US. There is no FOP rule in US copyright law. But if size of photo is small enough, fairuse will be appricated in US. Commons never accept fairuse files. --Ks aka 98（会話） 2014年4月24日 (木) 12:31 (UTC)
Thank you, it is clear now. Teemeah（会話） 2014年4月25日 (金) 14:51 (UTC)

Request: Transcribe Japanese sentences at the top of a page in a PDF file[編集]

In this document: http://www.ojs.unam.mx/index.php/cronicas/article/viewFile/17312/16505

Would someone mind transcribing the Japanese sentences at the very top of page 260 (in PDF: 24 of 28), right before the 3. I want to help source a sentence about a Yokohama artist who helped direct the making of a mural at the Liceo Mexicano Japones (日墨学院/日本メキシコ学院). To me, the Japanese looks blurry but I hope somebody can figure it out.

The equivalent Spanish sentences (a translation from Japanese to Spanish): "Dentro de algunos ejemplos finalmente realizados, existe una pintura sobre el muro exterior del gimnasio del Liceo Mexicano Japonés realizada en colaboración con veinte alumnos mexicanos del Liceo y catorce niños visitantes de Japón bajo la dirección de la artista Teiko Nishimori, quien radica en Yokohama."

I confirm Oda Mari's transcription. The website you mentioned states her living in Yokohama and her taking part in the mural in 1987, and uses the same kanji as the document(pdf) you posted (unless the blur on the pdf deludes me quite well), thus it's almost certain that these two 西森禎子 are the same person. --あるうぃんす（会話） 2014年5月1日 (木) 03:43 (UTC)

Regarding old Japanese newspaper archives[編集]

Hello everyone. If anyone here knows English, please respond. I have a favour to ask of you guys. The thing is, I'm working on Takako Matsu's "Ashita, Haru ga Kitara" article on the English Wikipedia. I am looking for reviews or interviews of any sort, especially in magazines and newspapers. I know there are lots of magazines from the 1990s, like "What's In?", "CD Hits" etc. Does anyone have any magazines from 1997/98 with information on "Ashita, Haru ga Kitara"? Also, is there any website like HighBeam which has a searchable database of old Japanese newspapers? Will you share them with me please? It's for the interest of the encyclopedia.

What is the Japanese for these words?[編集]

I have added content to en:Japanese community of Mexico City so that Spanish speaking editors can translate it into Spanish. Since the Chizuko Watanabe thesis does not print the Japanese characters, I'm trying to figure out what they would be. I used the dictionary at http://jisho.org.

  • Kokusui Doshi-kai ("Ultra-Nationalist Comrades Association") = 国粋同士会 ? (NOTE: it was established by Japanese who celebrated a Japanese victory in World War II and did not accept Japan's loss in the war)
  • meishin-kai ("Year of the Monkey Club" - a reference to people born in 1908)
  • Bokuto Sogo Fujo-kai ("Association for Mutual Aid")

Thanks, WhisperToMe（会話） 2014年5月28日 (水) 20:35 (UTC)

As for meishin-kai, I found this book on the search service provided by Japanese National Diet Library. This book was published in Mexico by "明申会". "明申会" is most likely pronounced as meishin-kai, and "申" is the character for monkey when denoting to specific years. "会", kai, is 'club'. The character "明" perhaps corresponds to its having been founded by people from Meiji(明治) era. Along with that, although I can't prove its authenticity, this blog post (ttp://amj2012.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-37.html {omitting h because this link is blocked by wikipedia's spam filter}), claimed to be authored by 日墨協会 (Asociación México Japonesa), mentions the name "明申会" and states that Jacaranda tree[s] were planted to celebrate it.
About Bokuto Sogo Fujo-kai, I'm pretty sure that Sogo Fujo-kai is 相互扶助会 (this is more like a common noun). I can't say anything about Bokuto (Boku might be 墨, if I take a wild guess).
国粋同士会 does seem to fit the explanation, is made up with common nouns (国粋-同士-会) and reads "Kokusui Doshi-kai". However, "国粋同志会" is equivalently (or perhaps more) likely, and I couldn't find any kind of sources. -- あるうぃんす（会話） 2014年5月30日 (金) 12:20 (UTC)

I want to find the kanji of the author of a 1983 master's degree thesis from California State University Los Angeles (author was born in Japan)[編集]

Hi JAWiki!

I want to find the kanji of Chizuko Watanabe Hougen, the author of a 1983 master's degree thesis from California State University, Los Angeles. This thesis is an important source for en:Liceo Mexicano Japones and it would be helpful for the article if we find the Japanese name of the author. Does Japan make koseki databases searchable by the public? There are clues at en:Talk:Japanese_immigration_to_Mexico that can help determine which Chizuko Watanabe is the one who made the master's thesis (one book citing her thesis called her "Chizuko Hougen" instead of "Chizuko Watanabe" and based on other things I found I am *certain* that Chizuko Hougen = Chizuko Watanabe = the author I am looking for)

This Chizuko Watanabe is no longer alive. She was born in Tokyo on April 22, 1947 and died on January 31, 2005. AFAIK she became a US citizen. WhisperToMe（会話） 2014年7月16日 (水) 22:10 (UTC)

Francine Lecomte の場合[編集]

Hello everyone, I would like to have some answers about a preoccupation of mine (I've tried to create a discussion note in bad Japanese also).

I heard about "Francine Lecomte" (see at the line 3月30日: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969年#3.E6.9C.88). But obviously this event didn't happen in reality (I've done some research).

I've tried to correct the page but some user(s) put it back. I'm a little bit surprised (and amazed and disappointed) about that kind of behavior. I think that Wikipedia has to look after objectivity and real facts, right ?

Can you help me to understand this situation ? (I was told harshly to improve my Japanese before trying to discuss...)

Thank you, Best regards,

Serge

--Srgcssn（会話）--2014年7月22日 (火) 23:57 (UTC)

It completely make sence that we have to look after objectivity and real facts. At least we will have to put citation on it.
I checked out the souce 左脳-san showed[14]. In Japanese, it's easy to identify that the article was on the Asahi Shimbun(31,march,1969,the evening edition) which says it was based on the sorce of L’Agence France-Presse(30,march,1969 Isn't it easy for you to ascertain?). And, it apears to me that it's not against the fact.
Even if that is the case, yes it still has a doubtful point why she has remained only in Japanese memory. I'm not sure, but I guess it just because the song "フランシーヌの場合" was popular in that time. This incident might not heve given much shock throughout the world, unlike the case of Jan Palach, the hero of Prague Spring.
--Akiyama(tentative)（会話） 2014年7月23日 (水) 03:42 (UTC)
Thank you for the reply. I appreciate. I begin to understand that this song/fact is kind of sacred for a certain group of Japanese people. I understand how 1969 is such a symbolic date for some "protest movement" at that time... In a way I also feel like I am dealing with Believers who say, "Ok we believe in God, try to prove He doesn't exist!” Every interlocutor put his belief in the first place.
Since I tried to modify the Wikipedia article I am always answered: ”there is an article in Asahi reporting some AFP's information (it is written somewhere)... hence it is true". And the discussion is over. No other point of view. It is "true" so every strange theory is ok to explain why no other media talked about it, no other Wikipedia article in another language mention it. Really? The evidence is too obvious to accept?
See, the "Francine Theory" holds on the "article argument" (1%). The other 99% prove its forgery. And because I am not Japanese I must prove the "article argument" is false? ... I hoped that I could reach some rational person who would investigate the case with me (along the seriousness of Wikipedia philosophy, only 1%, I assume, should have oriented a more skeptical approach considering such detail in the article). For now, in this context I am still alone, well... But I will surely not resign! :)
Other contributions for the dispute are still highly required then.
@Akiyama(tentative) : Even if I am a French living in Japan, NO, it is not easy for me to verify the veracity of an AFP info backing from 1969... but I will try my best, thanks for the tip! :)
--Srgcssn（会話）--2014年7月23日 (水) 13:09 (UTC)
Here it is. en:The Des Moines Register March 31, 1969

--Akiyama(tentative)（会話） 2014年7月24日 (木) 07:05 (UTC)
You really did a good job finding this... I'm impressed. It helps me to understand better what happened that day. There is indeed some coherence between the info in Des Moines Register and the one reported in Asahi (?)... I would like to find more precision but I guess the Internet is helpless to investigate further... is that true that Gô Goro (composer of the song), according to some site, went to Paris years before he died to look for Francine family members ? --Srgcssn（会話）--2014年7月24日 (木) 14:26 (UTC)

Due to the changes made on the Wikipedia articles, I think that the dispute is closed. I realize I was wrong : Francine Lecomte existed. She set herself afire. That day. We know (the ones who explored the Web, like doing a research on Google Books with the exact name) that she was not exactly like the myth created after the famous song. A myth that is valuable and has to be cherished despite the details of the true event. Finally, I asked myself : if Francine came back now and must chose between the real reality (that means the void of history maybe) or this little bit fictional destiny... I wonder... :) Anyway, thank you all for your help ! --Srgcssn（会話）--2014年7月25日 (金) 13:01 (UTC)

moving page ジェロニモ・マリア・バレット・クラウデミール・ダ・シウバ to カカウ[編集]

This article has a wrong name. There is NO "マリア" (Maria) in the name of that person. He explained that himself [15]. His full name is クラウデミール・ジェロニモ・バレット (Claudemir Jerônimo Barretto). But everybody (also Fifa [16]) calls him カカウ (Cacau). So this page should be moved to カカウ. [17] --79.231.119.30 2014年8月11日 (月) 12:48 (UTC)

Article has been moved to カカウ.--OskNe（会話） 2014年8月19日 (火) 22:58 (UTC)

Request for interview[編集]

Hi, I am from Necochea, Argentina and I work for a local newspaper in which we're interested, very interested in interviewing a hikikomori. Our question is, how can we contact one?, Could you please translate such a question and tell us of a forum where we may find hikikomoris? Thank you. --Jeddah（会話） 2014年8月16日 (土) 19:21 (UTC)

Sorry, but this is not a forum to talk about things are not related to (Japanese) Wikipedia or Wikimedia nor to make contact with persons. Do this question in a proper website. --Zerabat（会話） 2014年8月28日 (木) 14:05 (UTC)

Plant Classification[編集]

In the phylogenetic tree (系統樹) in the article APG III, 1 of the unplaced families (科 (分類学)) and 5 of the orders (目 (分類学)) are omitted. These are ムラサキ科 Boraginaceae, サクライソウ目 Petrosaviales, ピクラムニア目 Picramniales, エスカロニア目 Escalloniales, ブルニア目 Bruniales, and パラクリフィア目 Paracryphiales. Is there some reason why they were not included ? I will have no difficulty if you respond in Japanese. 72.234.240.55 2014年9月15日 (月) 08:49 (UTC)

Does "LGBT culture in Tokyo" exist in Japanese?[編集]

I want to see if en:LGBT culture in Tokyo exists in Japanese. It is about the LGBT community of Tokyo as a whole.

Thanks WhisperToMe（会話） 2014年9月23日 (火) 16:39 (UTC)

I heard the content is in 日本のゲイ文化 WhisperToMe（会話） 2015年1月10日 (土) 19:25 (UTC)

WhisperToMe: 日本のゲイ文化 (Nihon no gei bunka) is about the LGBT culture in overall Japan　（I have just linked it to Wikidata item). I could not find a specific Japanese article for LGBT culture in Tokyo.　--Zerabat（会話） 2015年1月12日 (月) 23:24 (UTC)
I don't think such a geographically-specific article exists on this wiki. Also, the 日本のゲイ文化 article defines itself to only talk about the culture among Japanese gay males, excluding the LBT. --朝彦（会話） 2015年1月13日 (火) 19:51 (UTC)

Kanji for 1960s plane crash victim (Continental Airlines Flight 11)[編集]

In en:Continental Airlines Flight 11 I found that the one person who initially survived the crash but later died was Takehiko Nakano. His residence was Evanston, Illinois. I wonder if he was born in Japan or otherwise had taken a name in kanji. If so, what source would have this name?

Any sources about the newspaper Weekly J-Angle ( ウィークリー・ジャングル)?[編集]

Are there any sources about the Weekly J-Angle (ウィークリー・ジャングル)? It is a weekly Japanese newspaper published for expatriate communities in the Midwestern United States and possibly other regions (I remember seeing copies in a Japanese restaurant in Houston). It is published by the Angle Press, Inc. (アングル・プレス・インク), a company headquartered in Arlington Heights, Illinois (near Chicago) with an office in Novi, Michigan (near Detroit) (See contact page). The official website is here.

I am interested in covering issues related to the Japanese diaspora so I would love to see sources about this. Maybe it's possible to write an article about it?

水中、それは苦しい and br tag[編集]

Hi, why does the 水中、それは苦しい article have a <br clear="both" /> tag in it? It breaks the appearance of the article on external websites, like [18] for example. I also filed bugzilla:72546 for this. Any advice on why the tag was added, and if it can be removed would be appreciated. Thanks, Legoktm（会話） 2014年10月27日 (月) 04:25 (UTC)

<br clear="both" /> tag was added by 118.12.22.25 on 2011-03-08T13:18:08‎ with no summary. I guess we can do without that tag nor __TOC__ there; and I'll try to remove it later :). --miya（会話） 2014年10月27日 (月) 08:00 (UTC)

What are laws regarding usage of Public Domain (non-copyrighted) books in Japan published hundreds of years ago in foreign countries?[編集]

This book was published in China during the Qing dynasty in the 18th century and pdf files of this book were put up on this Japanese website as PDF files- 御製五体清文鑑. 巻1-32,補編. And this is a manuscript directly from 18th century China, it is not a republished edition. There is no copyright and it is in public domain according to western laws (America and Europe). I want to upload the pdf files of this book to Wikimedia Commons ウィキメディア・コモンズ. American law allows public domain files to be uploaded and used on Wikimedia projects. Can I just download the PDF files from the website and upload it (is the website automatically giving consent for public domain usage of this book by displaying the pdf files for download)? Or do we have to send an email to the website and ask them for permission according to Japanese law? The same website also has many copies of other manuscript books in public domain from 18th century China or even older, I wish to seek permission for all of them to be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons if allowed by Japanese law.Rajmaan（会話） 2014年10月31日 (金) 20:19 (UTC)

Clearly the copyright of the material in question has expired in the source country (China), the database's country (Japan), Commons' country (US), and the uploader's country (wherever you are). Even the most stringent country does not protect works more than 100 years after creator's death, so it is in public domain worldwide. Now, Waseda University's database website says in its About page that when copying one of its image data to another website, the re-user must obtain permission from the Library office, and failure to do so could result in "firm measures including legal procedure." However, it is most likely that they are claiming rights without legal backing. Much like legal precedents in many other jurisdictions, a court decision have ruled that "a faithful reproduction of a two-dimensional work is not a copyrightable work" (版画写真事件). There is also another ruling which says that a collector's right associated with the possession of the actual object of a work does not extend beyond the actual object itself and not to a reproduction (顔真卿自書建中告身帖事件), and therefore, Waseda's claim (threat?) can most likely be considered null and void. I believe this understanding is valid in most jurisdictions; see also c:Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag and the wording in c:Template:PD-scan. That said, there have been an instance like the en:National Portrait Gallery and Wikimedia Foundation copyright dispute where Gallery sent a threatening letter to an individual Commons uploader, but with public outrage and Wikimedia Foundation's full support, the dispute ended peacefully. So to sum it up, the website says not to do it; but they don't have any rights to say so. In an unlikely event where you do receive an angry letter from Waseda, shame on them and people will definitely be on your side. It won't hurt to send them an e-mail as a precautionary action / courtesy if you really want to, though.

Hello, are these 2 items one and the same?[編集]

Are 通信 and コミュニケーション similar to each other? And if anyone here happens to know Chinese, please can anyone help me about zh_yuewiki:通訊 and 傳理學, are they the same? If it is true, then can you please merge these articles? Thank you in advance. Squall282（会話） 2014年11月18日 (火) 09:36 (UTC)

The answer is no. コミュニケーション is an act of one person exchanging information and thoughts with another. 通信 means correspondence or any other form of telecommunication (telegraphs, telephone, mails, etc). zh-yue:傳理學 is an academic field of study ("communication studies"). Although both コミュニケーション and 通信 can be translated into English as "communication", the English vocabulary is vague in that it does not distinguish between these two different concepts, and thus should not be merged. National Diet Library's subject authority file have separate entries for the concepts (コミュニケーション=NDL 00566543, 通信=NDL 00573538) despite listing "Communication" as a label for both of these. --朝彦（会話） 2014年11月18日 (火) 15:22 (UTC)

敬語の使い方についての質問[編集]

こんにちは、敬語の使い方について質問いたします。日本語のネイティブスピーカーではないから、不自然な日本語なら予めご了承ください。

先日、英語版ウィキペディアでは、このen:Template:Welcomeen-jaのテンプレートメッセージを読んで表現に少し違和感を感じ、特に最後の文「ウィキペディア･プロジェクトへの参加ありがとうございます。」ということが日本語としてちょっとおかしいと思います。「ご参加ありがとうございます」などをよく聞いたりすることがあるですが、ただ「参加ありがとうございます」を全然聞いたことがありません。この場合では、「ご」をつけることが変ですか。妻や同僚など(皆は日本人です）に聞きましたが、意見が別々です。別に大したことがないですが、自分自身の勉強のため、分かりやすい言葉でご説明いただければ幸いです。よろしくお願いいたします。- Marchjuly（会話） 2014年12月15日 (月) 12:12 (UTC)

こんにちは。わたしは日本語の専門家ではありませんが、どちらの表現も文法上問題ないと思います。文体が堅苦しくなりすぎることを嫌う場合もあるでしょうから、どちらを選ぶかは書き手のセンスの問題でしょう。おなじテンプレートメッセージに「執筆いただいた英文は」という部分がありますが、これを「ご執筆」にするか「執筆」にするかというのと本質的にはおなじです。「ご執筆」というとかなり大げさな感じがします。wikipedia編集者や新聞記者程度では「ご執筆」はなさらないと思いますが、小説家なんかだと「ご執筆」なさるでしょう。この辺の書き分けは説明できるものではありません。
文法として問題ないと申しましたが、たしかに「参加ありがとうございます」には、わたしも若干の違和感を覚えます。わたしなら「プロジェクトへご参加くださり、ありがとうございます」とするかもしれません。参考になれば幸いです。--Akiyama(tentative)（会話） 2014年12月17日 (水) 11:48 (UTC)
返信 (Akiyama(tentative)宛) : 分かりやすくご説明くださり、ありがとうございました。やはり外国人にとっては、敬語を正しく使うことは中々難しいですね。WP:SUGでたくさんのテンプレートがあり、「ご参加くださり、ありがとうございます」等という表現がよく使っていますが、確かに相手に対してどの程度の丁寧さが必要かどうか場合や人などによって考え方が違います。大変勉強になりました。- Marchjuly（会話） 2014年12月17日 (水) 21:33 (UTC)

強烈要求把【五台山 (中国)】这篇正文移动至【五台山】[編集]

”五台山“这个名字大多数来说都是山西的五台山，虽然它是中国四座佛敎名山的其中一座很出名的山峰，而且四大菩萨里面的文殊菩萨道场，但如果说到知名度，它就是最大名气的了。再看过它的消歧义版（五台山）里面的东西，想試問一下，全世界里面有哪座五台山的知名度能够超过中国山西的五台山？就算是日本和韩国的地名，也只有日本和韩国当地的人才知道，如果把他的名字扔在全球各地，一说到五台山就是山西那个。如果hyolee2说的是中国中心的理由而拒绝移动的，那我可不可以说：中国不止一个五台山，在香港里面是一条马路名字（请看zh:广播道）；甚至在贵州省和江苏省、河北省也有一个五台山（请看zh:小五台山和[19]所有的链接）。请问你能说这是中国中心吗？如果一说知名度，把举例条目换成【広州】和【中国】也一样道理！有谁敢搬去【広州 (中国)】或【中国 (国家)】这么怪癖的名字吧？其实hyolee2说的完全不是中国中心，而是”懒中立“的行为。--Dersith（会話） 2014年12月20日 (土) 03:20 (UTC)

Possibly famous people in Tokyo[編集]

Can anyone identify the people in this photo I took in Tokyo? Judging how the people around them were reacting, they are probably famous or at least close to famous. - Jmabel | Talk 07:00, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

The man on the left is 千原ジュニア/Chihara Junior, a comedian and actor. The Japanese article is ja:千原ジュニア. See also [20]. The man with bleached hair looks like a comedian too, but I do not know who he is. I think you can get the answer at ja:Wikipedia:Help for Non-Japanese Speakers.
